Best of Brakfast Episode 174 Yana Bolder
There is something slightly strange about being told that it is going to reach 27°C when September is almost over. By this point in the year, we have usually started thinking about darker evenings, jumpers, heating bills and whether it is too early to put the winter duvet back on the bed. The summer clothes have often been pushed towards the back of the wardrobe, the barbecue has been cleaned […]
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has outlined plans to transform Britain, including ending the state pension triple lock from 2030 to help fund a new national care service. Speaking at the Labour Party conference, Mr Burnham proposed linking annual pension increases to inflation or 2.5%, removing the earnings link to generate savings. He also signaled plans for greater public control over housing, water, energy, and potential electoral reform. Three teenagers have […]
There was a time when the electricity going off was not an unusual event. It might happen during a storm, after some problem with the local supply or simply for reasons that nobody in the house completely understood. One minute you would be watching television, making a cup of tea or doing something perfectly ordinary, and the next the entire house would suddenly go quiet. For Gen X, a power […]
A twenty-three-year-old man from County Durham has been arrested on suspicion of rape following an attack in Slough. Thames Valley Police confirmed the suspect was arrested on Friday in connection with an incident in an alleyway near Lansdowne Avenue on the twenty-second of September.

There are meals, and then there is the Sunday roast. For generations of British families, Sunday lunch has been less about simply putting food on a plate and more about following a ritual that has somehow survived changing fashions, busier lives and the arrival of countless new cuisines. You can change the television, the car, the furniture and even the way you communicate with your family, but there is something […]

Ministers had previously stated that the ban, which is being overseen by the Culture Secretary, would take effect at some point in the spring. The government will take control […]

Heathrow Airport's third runway has been delayed by four years and will not be operational until 2039. Airport bosses are understood to have informed ministers that the current 2035 target is unachievable. The original deadline was set by then-chancellor Rachel Reeves in January last year and was considered ambitious at the time. The set-back represents a blow to Prime Minister Andy Burnham's plans to use the expansion project to boost […]
Gen X has spent a lifetime adapting to change. We grew up with landlines, cassette tapes, paper maps, encyclopaedias and televisions that had to be switched on manually. We then watched computers arrive in the home, followed by the internet, mobile phones, social media, streaming services and a world where almost everything can be done from a device in your pocket. You would think we would be completely comfortable with […]
A legal expert has warned that Manchester City being found liable for 114 out of 115 rule breaches will open the floodgates to further legal challenges in football. Paul Stothard, a partner at law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, said if upheld, rival clubs may seek compensation for lost revenue, missed European qualification, or relegation.
